Chapter 378 - WOLVES, NOT DOGS

378 WOLVES, NOT DOGS

“Even though this is not my first time visiting the Rongyao Imperial Palace, I don’t know any place in this palace, including the location of the prison. I think this palace is bigger than our Xinyang Imperial Palace in Wu Li,” Wu Jingguo couldn’t help but grumble when he tried to find the place where his half-brother was being held.

He originally wanted to follow Bai Chen and Yu Ming to Zuigao Hall, but then Yu Ming gave him a more important order to save his brother, and that was why he immediately agreed to do the job.

He was alone to do the task given by Yu Ming, and he also didn’t know where the bad guy had locked his brother, but he didn’t look scared at all. Confidently, the blue-robed Crown Prince continued to walk through each and every pavilion within the Rongyao Imperial Palace, but then about a dozen people suddenly appeared and blocked his steps. The Crown Prince didn’t look surprised or frightened, but he tsk-ed in annoyance instead.

Those people were wearing black clothes, and it was easy to tell that they were his enemies, and that was why he didn’t look happy when his steps were blocked by them.

“If you insist on surrounding me, then you must tell me where my brother is being held. Otherwise, you better stay away from me. I’m not in the mood to fight, and I just want to find my brother as soon as possible. We, Wu Li people, have nothing to do with the affair in this empire,” Wu Jingguo arrogantly spoke to the group of people in black.

“I didn’t expect that I would get the chance to meet the illegitimate Crown Prince of Wu Li today,” one of the men in black standing in the front row answered Wu Jingguo’s words, and Wu Jingguo frowned displeasedly after hearing what he said. 𝑓r𝙚ew𝚎𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝗲𝘭. c𝘰m

“What do you mean I’m just the illegitimate Crown Prince of Wu Li? My mother is the legitimate wife of the Emperor, and I’m also legally appointed Crown Prince of Wu Li. How dare you say I’m just an illegitimate Crown Prince?” Normally, Wu Jingguo was a hot-tempered young man, and that was why he immediately raised an irritated tone when someone nudged his pride.

“Your mother is indeed the official wife of the Emperor, and you are also legally appointed as the Crown Prince, but you stole the position from someone else. And after stealing the position, you still dare to say that that person is your brother. I didn’t expect a Crown Prince could be this shameless.”

Wu Jingguo looked even angrier after hearing how the man in black retorted. “I dare you to repeat what you just said,” grinding his teeth, he challenged the man in black.

.....

“What are you going to do if I repeat what I just said?” The man in black confidently asked that question. “I heard that Prince Wu Jinhai’s mother was also killed by your faction. How can you still say that he is your brother? After this, he might not return to Wu Li and choose to join us in Dong Lang. After all, he is just an unwanted Prince in Wu Li, right? Once he takes the antidote, he will become a normal human again, but he surely won’t return to Wu Li. He knows that no one respects him in Wu Li.”

Wu Jingguo kept grinding his teeth to suppress his anger, and his hand finally moved towards the hilt of the scimitar hanging from his waist. It was his weapon called Feng Fei, and unlike Wu Jinhai who didn’t really have a master except for Yu Ming, Wu Jingguo had a master, and it was his master who gave him the weapon years ago.

The scimitar also recognized him as a master, and even if the weapon’s awareness could not compare with Wu Jiang, it was still good that it would not let anyone but Wu Jingguo take advantage of its sharpness. When the weapon fell into someone else’s hands, that person could still lift and wield the scimitar, but it would not be as sharp as when Wu Jingguo used it.

“When my master gave me this scimitar, he said that I would be able to slash my opponent in the war on a horse, and I actually didn’t feel good about that. These days, there aren’t any wars with horses going on around us, right? That’s why I don’t think this kind of weapon suits me, but now I believe that I will be able to properly use this weapon to slice a group of ugly dogs into pieces. Just come to me, and I will choose whether I will cut off your head right away or maybe cut off your feet first.”

Wu Jingguo knew that what he was dealing with was wolves and not dogs, and what he just said must have offended the group of werewolves. And sure enough, the group of people clad in black couldn’t take the ridicule, and they immediately transformed into their wolf forms. But that was what Wu Jingguo had anticipated, and that was why he was able to smile calmly before getting ready with Feng Fei in his hand.

Feng Fei was a single-edged sword with a convex curved blade. It was relatively light so the Crown Prince of Wu Li could carry it around every day, and it was now in his hand, ready to slice the black wolves into pieces.

Wu Jingguo was indeed ready for battle, but he wasn’t the only one as the black wolves were also ready for battle. The wolves were offended by how Wu Jingguo called them dogs, and they growled angrily at the Crown Prince. The existence of the black crystal on their foreheads was enough to confirm their identity as part of the Black Werewolf Clan, but Wu Jingguo was not intimidated in the least.

When the wolves furiously attacked him, Wu Jingguo greeted them with the scimitar in his hand, and a bloody battle broke out in one of the courtyards within the Rongyao Imperial Palace.

The people outside one of the pavilions in the palace didn’t know, but someone had just regained consciousness, and he happened to overhear the conversation going on outside.
